Dawn breaks over the city of Shuzhou in Sichuan Province, at the foot of Mount Emei.
A colossal spatial rift, some three hundred meters in length, cleaves the valley in two, as if the very void has been sundered by a sword, separating the main peak of Mount Emei from the Covered Peaks.
Not far from here lies the Mount Emei scenic area, though it has been closed for half a year.
Occasionally, figures clad in azure Taoist robes pass by, exuding an extraordinary air.
They are the direct disciples of the Chu family, a martial arts lineage from Mount Emei.
Tracing its origins to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the Chu family has practiced the "Mount Emei Back-Through Fist" of the White Ape Ancestor.
Their martial arts techniques are a blend of the Taoist art of nurturing life and the Buddhist practice of internal and external cultivation, ranking among the top methods in the martial arts world.
The martial tradition of the Mount Emei lineage is even more ancient than that of Shaolin or Wudang, dating back to primordial times.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a series of violent noises erupt from within the spatial rift.
With a swish, a bizarre three-meter-long beast's claw reaches out, clinging to the edge of the rift.
A powerful and sinister aura howls forth.
The passing Chu disciples' faces change dramatically at the sight.
"God! An Alien Beast has emerged!"
"This aura? It's an Alien Beast with minor internal energy mastery!"
"Quick, report this!"
Panic ensues among the group.
No one expected that the rift, quiet for three months, would suddenly spawn an Alien Beast with minor internal energy mastery. By mundane standards, that's an S-level threat!
Far beyond the capabilities of these ordinary disciples still in physical training!
As they prepare to rush back and report to the Chu family.
Suddenly, everyone looks up in shock towards the horizon.
There they see.
A graceful figure leaps from the mountaintop, dressed in a purple gown, surrounded by deep purple lightning arcs, her proud face adorned with intricate thunder patterns, like a thunder goddess descending from myth, stunning to behold.
The Chu disciples are momentarily spellbound.
"Is that Mu Lengyu?" someone recognizes the woman's identity, exclaiming in surprise.
"Who else but her? Does our Chu family have anyone else who cultivates the thunder arts?"
"This aura… Has she already reached major internal energy mastery?"
"Incredible! How long has she been with the Chu family?"
"Is this the legendary innate celestial physique? Her cultivation speed is terrifying."
The crowd looks at Mu Lengyu with a mix of astonishment and envy.
It is said that this woman is a Biotics Man who awakened her Alien Abilities among the common folk and previously served China.
But for some reason, she was suspended from her duties ten days ago and came alone to Mount Emei for a visit. Although the scenic area had been closed, that didn't stop her, then a B-level Biotics Man.
And then, she was discovered by the Chu family.
After some testing and confirmation through a soul-searching technique by a master of spells.
The Chu family elders discovered that Mu Lengyu harbored a significant grudge against the Chinese officials, so they decided to recruit her.
After all, Biotics Men are said to be born with celestial physiques, natural martial arts prodigies.
Mu Lengyu accepted the Chu family's offer almost without hesitation.
In less than half a month, she leaped from the peak of B-level to SS-level with the martial arts techniques taught by the Chu family!
She fully displayed the martial prowess of an innate celestial physique.
At this moment.
Mu Lengyu hovers thirty meters above the spatial rift, observing the ferocious S-level Alien Beast within.
Her mind involuntarily revisits the scene she encountered half a month ago at the rift in the northern mountains.
She also recalls the peerless edge of the Evergreen Sword Saint's sword.
"The Evergreen Sword Saint, the world's first National level Biotics Man…"
Mu Lengyu murmurs, admiration and concern flickering in her eyes.
Now she knows that the Evergreen Sword Saint is not a Biotics Man at all, but someone with a martial arts talent many times greater than her own innate celestial physique.
She worries that the Evergreen Sword Saint will be found by the Chinese officials and persuaded to serve China.
She knows of the martial world's impending rebellion.
The Alien Abilities Administration will soon cease to exist.
If the Evergreen Sword Saint also practices the tampered martial arts techniques, he will be utterly ruined.
Mu Lengyu's concern is not for the Alien Abilities Administration, but for the man known as the Evergreen Sword Saint.
That world-shaking sword strike has been etched into her heart, unforgettable for a lifetime.
Conversely, she now utterly despises the Alien Abilities Administration, even hating China!
Of course, the one she hates the most is Chu Yi.
"I did nothing wrong! Why should I be suspended based solely on Chu Yi's word?!"
Thinking of what Chu Yi and the Alien Abilities Administration did to her, Mu Lengyu's heart nearly boils over with rage and hatred!
From the beginning, she never understood what she did wrong!
Nor could she comprehend why Chu Yi could be so vile!
Mu Lengyu clenches her teeth, her eyes swirling with lightning as if flames are burning within.
A low-level Biotics Man dared to slap me twice? Dared to slander me?
Putting all that aside.
What right does he, a man, have to treat a woman like this?
Utterly unreasonable!
Disgusting to the core!
Mu Lengyu vows to personally kill Chu Yi, to avenge this deep humiliation!
Coincidentally, Chu Yi has ties to the Chu family of Mount Emei.
But he is merely a minor disciple from a collateral business clan, his life as cheap as grass.
Although Mu Lengyu has not yet fully earned the Chu family's trust, she figures they wouldn't object to her killing Chu Yi.
The thought of easily exacting revenge fills her with immense satisfaction.
Just then.
ROAR!
A deafening roar echoes through the valley.
The head of the Alien Beast has emerged from the rift, its greedy, bloodthirsty gaze fixed on Mu Lengyu.
Its terrifying and bizarre aura sends the Chu disciples into a state of shock and fear.
"S-level? Equivalent to the head of the Shuzhou branch office? Mere trash."
Mu Lengyu scoffs coldly, extending a delicate hand, stirring up a storm of electric arcs.
Her graceful body is enveloped in surging waves of lightning.
All the lightning and electric arcs converge in her hand, forming a human head-sized orb of lightning, brimming with a destructive and violent energy.
The next second, under the shocked gaze of the Chu disciples.
The orb of lightning bursts forth from Mu Lengyu's hand, striking the Alien Beast's head in an instant!
Blue-purple lightning flashes!
The entire world falls into an eerie silence.
The low growl of the S-level Alien Beast stops abruptly, its dark scales turning to ash, and then its entire head shatters, scattering on the wind.
With one strike, the S-level Alien Beast is reduced to ashes!
The Chu disciples gasp in shock.
Is this the power of an SS-level innate celestial physique who has cultivated martial arts?
Such terrifying strength.
Even an SSS-level Biotics Man might not be her match.
